Can you believe Jade and I ran in -12 degrees?  That's right--minus twelve degrees!!  That must be a record of some sort.  Definitely, it's a record for me.  I couldn't believe Jade wanted to still run with me.  I was so excited, we hadn't run together in at least a week and a half.  I told her about how I am starting a book club with a girl I visit teach.  Our February book is Persuasion by Jane Austen.  I'm on page seventy or so.  So, I told her all about the first seventy pages and what I knew about the story line.  I told her about how I started a family blog.  I put my running blog address on the blog page.  I am so proud of myself.

After I had caught up on my week and a half of talking, I noticed it felt like my eyelashes had icicles on them.  They did and so did Jade's!  My toes felt frozen, so I wasn't sure if I'd go out again after Jade and I finished our 2.8 miles.  The feeling in my toes came back and I did say good-bye to Jade and headed back out for another 2.8.

 

All that white stuff is frost.

I didn't trip today and I ran in -12 degrees.  So, I feel tough!

How do you make the pictures bigger?  I went back to Lybi's post on October 29th to read Mik'L's comment on how to post a picture.  But, it turned out so small.  Did I do something wrong?

You are so tough! That is amazing, and 5 miles too!

So how do you like Persuasion? I haven't read that one, at least not that I remember.

Persuasion is fun so far. The characters are funny because they are such snobs. However, you feel for Anne, the main character. She called off an engagement with a guy who she's head-over-heels for because of her family. Eight years later--eight years after not seeing him at all--she sees him and knows she still in love with him. And she feels like they can't be even acquaintances.
